Ann H. Murphy

Expert guidance through a complex construction dispute

I engaged Ann Murphy at Stites & Harbison to represent my small development company in a significant payment dispute with a general contractor. From our first meeting, her deep knowledge of construction law was evident. She didn't just understand the legal statutes; she grasped the practical realities of the job site and contract administration, which was crucial. Her recognition in Litigation - Construction by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. Ann developed a clear, strategic approach that avoided unnecessary escalation, and her preparation for negotiations was meticulous. We achieved a favorable settlement that protected our interests without the cost and delay of a full trial. The only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally stretch to a full business day, but her follow-up was always thorough. Ann is a sharp, pragmatic attorney who provides excellent value. I would confidently recommend her to any business facing commercial or construction-related legal challenges in the Nashville area.
